Used Rollomatic Machines We Buy

Who Makes Rollomatic Machines

Rollomatic SA is a privately held Swiss builder of CNC machines for production grinding of cutting tools, cylindrical grinding and laser cutting of ultra-hard materials. Its roots go back to 1964, when Francis Rollier set up Rollier SA in La Neuveville. Rollomatic SA itself was created in 1989 in Le Landeron, where its headquarters and a 12,000 m² production site stand today.

The American company, Rollomatic Inc., was launched in 1994 in Mundelein, Illinois, and moved into its own office and tech center there in 2003. Rollomatic bought Strausak SA of Biel/Bienne in 2011, became the Rollomatic Group in 2022 with the purchase of Patric Métal SA, and in 2023 set up a succession plan for its founders by registering the Michel Rollier Foundation.

Rollomatic's Current Lines: GrindSmart, ShapeSmart and LaserSmart

Rollomatic's cutting tool grinding page listed 14 machines when we read it, all GrindSmart models except the Strausak ONE: the 530XS, 530XW and 530XF, the six-axis 630XS, 630XW and 630XW3, the 630RS, 630RW and 630RW3 with a built-in six-axis Fanuc robot, the 660XW, the 830XW, the Nano5, and the Nano6 for micro tools.

Cylindrical work runs on the ShapeSmart NP30 and NP50 and on the RPG II, a hydraulic plunge grinder with a magazine loader. The LaserSmart 510, LaserSmart 510 Femto and LaserSmart 810XL machine tools made of ultra-hard materials with a laser rather than a wheel. Every GrindSmart is programmed in Rollomatic's own VirtualGrind Pro software.

Loader, Wheel Changer and Sixth Axis on a Used Rollomatic

Rollomatic builds the loader into the machine rather than adding it afterward. On the GrindSmart 630XW the standard package is a pick and place tool loader holding up to 1,360 tools plus a wheel and nozzle changer with 6 positions, and the sixth axis lets the wheels incline for ballnose and corner-radius work. A used Rollomatic that still has its loader cassettes, wheel and nozzle packs, shank guide and steady rest gives a buyer far more to work with than one stripped to the base machine.

The diameter range decides which shops want it. Rollomatic quotes the 630XW at 0.1 to 20.0 mm, and its US company says GrindSmart machines as a family run from micro tools of 0.03 mm up to 32 mm. Tell us the model off the plate, the loader and changer fitted, and the VirtualGrind Pro version on the control.

Where the 620XS, 628XS and CNC-Series Machines Fit

Most of the Rollomatic grinders that come to us carry older names than the current catalog: the 620XS under several spellings, the 628XS, 628XI and 628XW, the 528XS and 528XW, and CNC-prefixed machines such as the CNC148 and CNC235NM, along with MicroGrind units. None of those names appears on Rollomatic's current product pages, which list the 530XS and 630XS generations instead, so an older unit is judged on what its plate, controller and software release say about it. The NANO5 and NANO6 grinders we see are the exception: Rollomatic still lists the GrindSmart Nano5 and Nano6.

Rollomatic's Solution Centers Versus a Direct Sale

Service on a Rollomatic comes from the Le Landeron headquarters and from Solution Centers in Mundelein, Shanghai and Nagoya, with support teams in India and Taiwan, and Rollomatic's 2026 partnership with Fischer Spindle Group covers spindle manufacturing. That network suits a Rollomatic you mean to keep in production. Once one has come off the schedule, MTE buys it directly, and notes from spindle work or a software update help us scope it.

What Is in the Rollomatic Book Right Now

Rollomatic is the only brand in this hub, and the book runs 43 listings. Twenty-four are filed as CNC Tool and Cutter Grinders, a majority of the page. Fourteen sit under CNC Grinding Machines, four under CNC Miscellaneous Machines, and one under CNC Vertical Machining Centers. So 38 of the 43 sit in a grinding-named category and five sit outside one. This is a small, single-brand specialist book, and the number that defines it is this: 42 distinct models across 43 listings. Exactly one model string repeats as written, the CNC-2000-XR, at two listings. One machine, the 620XS, is spelled four different ways across four listings. Almost everything else here is a single unit. That matters more than it sounds. There is no comparable-sale shortcut on a Rollomatic, so each one gets scoped on its own plate, control and condition rather than checked against a stack of identical machines that moved last quarter. That is why the detail on your first call carries real weight here.

The Tool and Cutter Grinders, and How the Catalog Spells Them

The 24 CNC Tool and Cutter Grinders are the bulk of this hub, and the record shows one machine written several different ways. The 620XS appears four times under four spellings: 620-XS, 620 XS, 620XS ID and 620XS. That makes it the designation that recurs most here, ahead of the CNC-2000-XR at two. The 148 does the same: CNC 148 F3, CNC 148 P4 and CNC148 P4 are three listings, with the P4 written two ways. The plate beats a text search every time. Past the 620XS, the CNC family is largest at seven listings, four filed as CNC Tool and Cutter Grinders and three as CNC Grinding Machines. CNC235NM accounts for three, two under tool and cutter grinding and one under CNC Miscellaneous Machines. The record also names 628XS, 628XI, 628XW, 528XS, 528XW, CNC246F, CNC48F4, CNC 24, CNC 24 ID, CNC 12, 24-F3, 600-X and NP4. The category page is /machine-type/cnc-tool-cutter-grinders/.

MicroGrind, NANO and the CNC Grinding Machines Side

Fourteen listings sit under CNC Grinding Machines, and several families cluster there. MICROGRIND accounts for three, and unlike the other families the catalog breaks out, all three sit under that one heading. They are not repeats of one machine: MICROGRIND 2000XE, MICROGRIND 2000XR and MICROGRIND 2000XD, three variants of the 2000. CNC600X accounts for three as well, two under CNC Grinding Machines and one under CNC Tool and Cutter Grinders, so like the CNC family it straddles both grinding headings. Elsewhere in the model record there are two 6000XL listings. NANO shows up three times, as NANO5, NANO6 and NANOGRIND, each a single unit, and a SHAPESMART appears once. A CNC235NM CONTROL is recorded as its own listing beside two plain CNC235NM entries, though those three are filed under tool and cutter grinding and CNC Miscellaneous Machines, not here. The shops running machines from this side of the book are cutting tool manufacturers, resharpening shops and aerospace suppliers, not the buyer shopping a surface grinder, so these get scoped one at a time.

What Moves the Number on a Used Rollomatic

Forty-two distinct models across 43 listings means a Rollomatic is rarely valued against an identical sale. The plate designation is where it starts, not where it ends. Three things then move the number further than most sellers expect. Wheel spindle count is the first. The second is whether a loader or wheel changer came with it, which decides whether we quote a grinder or a cell. The third is the tool-design software, and whether the licence transfers with the iron. On this class of machine that shifts an offer more than the year does. After those: grinding capacity, axis count, control type and generation, wheel spindle specs, accessories, and whether it still holds tolerance. Jason Puuri weighs all of it himself rather than running a formula, so an older unit with its full package can scope better than a newer bare one. A quote typically comes back within 24 to 48 hours.

Have This Ready Before You Call

Start at the data plate, because this book gives a concrete reason. Only 8 of these 43 listings carry a build year at all. The other 35 carry none, so the year is the detail most likely to go missing when a Rollomatic changes hands. Pulling it off the plate or service records puts you ahead. Send the model and serial exactly as written, the build year if you have it, control type and generation, axis count, grinding capacity and wheel spindle specs. Then say what goes with the machine and what stays: wheel changer, loader, collets and steady rests, the measuring or probing option, and the tool-design software licence. Photos are not required, but three help: the control screen, the data plate, and one wide shot far enough back to show the loader and peripheral cabinet. MTE can arrange rigging, crating, freight and the pickup in all 50 states.

Selling a Rollomatic Direct Instead of Listing It

MTE buys outright. We are not a broker, an auction platform or a consignment service, so you sell the machine to us rather than waiting on a third party. No listing, no broker, and the pickup arranged for you. Any condition works: running, idle, or needing spindle work. MTE is an affiliate of Superior Machine Tools. Two things worth saying plainly. First, a Rollomatic that is not a tool grinder still gets an offer. This book already holds four listings under CNC Miscellaneous Machines and one under CNC Vertical Machining Centers, and the model record includes a LASERSMART500, an RPG, an FRP 250, an FRP200 and a DELTA 900. If it wears the nameplate, send it. Second, a mixed floor goes on one quote and one pickup. We also buy ANCA, Walter, Vollmer, Deckel and K.O. Lee tool grinders, plus Okamoto, Studer, Blanchard and Landis on the wider grinding side. More at /sell-your-tool-cutter-grinder/.
